Favorite Travel Destinations

Most people have their own image of the ideal vacation or dream trip. For some, this might entail traveling to the beach and basking in the sun; for others, a stroll through city streets might just be the recipe for a nice day. Personally, I enjoy the outdoors, and an enjoyable hike in the mountains near my house is just the thing to pass the day.

In this picture, I took a nice 20 km hike with some of the family up towards Mt. Timpanogos, one of the highest peaks in this area. We saw beautiful flowers along the way, a number of birds and ground squirrels, and one of us caught sight of a moose.

The solitude and beauty of the area always seems to remind me of the blessings of this great world.

I've always enjoyed traveling to summer resorts. The sun, the feeling you have walking on the sand barefoot and of course a good chat over some icy cold beer are indeed a recipe for a nice day.However, what makes it really special is the opportunity to spend time with my family and closest friends who never miss out the opportunity to travel with us.

My favourite travel destination is the biological forest and the sea. I like travelling in the forest to discover and enjoy the beauty of diverse plants and animals. And it is fantastic if you are accompanied by some friends.

Hi! It's an interesting question... Well, i would like to be able to visit The United States! I am sure that one day i will go there! But others countries are very attractive: Greece,Spain,South America... In fact, maybe i would like to travel all over the world!!!

About a month a ago I took a trip to the island Uleungdo which is the eighth biggest island in Korea. I walked along the trail of the Island and walked through the forest. Walking through the forest is my favorite in any time. I can hear the birds chirping and smell the wind blowing. The picture reminds me somewhere in Europe. Is that right?

my name is LINA,well, I would like to visit London because it is a wonderful city that has some interesting places like the cupula of St Paul’s Catedral,the Globe Theatre and others. also I would like to go to the Stamford Brige Stadium...because I love English Football...Chelsea FC is my favourite team. besides, I think that London would be the perfect place to improve my English.

I like to walk along the street in bid cities and find famous scenic spots and interesting restaurants by reading a map or guidebook . If the city has subways or public buses, it will be convenient for me.

I recommend people to visit my country, Colombia. But when you come, you need to have this recommendations in mind:Be prepared for an embracing culture. We hug, we kiss, we are very caring. Also, don't think you will find drugs in every corner, because you wont. We will help you, guide you and welcome you with open arms. But! do not refuse to dance, because that is soemthing that we love to do, even if we are not good at it. A friend of mine came and he expected to find nothing to do and ugly food. He left knowing that we know how to have fun and eat delicious meals!

I moved to Mexico last year and have learned that the culture is very different from America. When going to eat especially surprised me as well as greeting others was very different from what I was use too. Greeting: Men will give a hug to the other, I am warmed up to this and enjoy doing this now. 2nd, Going out to dinner. We ate at a restaurant and the person did not come back with the bill for us to pay. It is a custom in Playas not to give a bill until it is requested. When you have completed all you wish to eat you can make eye contact with the server and they will come over and it is only then that I request the bill.

my favorite destination is the beach, few years ago when ramadhan month approaching Eid Fitri. my family decide to visit grand father and grand mother at Trenggalek, east Java. In there, we also take a visit to Perigi beach. and we're not alone, my family accompany by my uncle's family. me with my nephew collect shells on the coast.

Well I enjoy going to the country area, sightseeing is beautiful and the environment is relaxing.We can practice hiking as a sport, as well as, to take pictures of the landscapes around. I enjoy the nature, like trees, animals and flowers. Being there is like to scape from the routine that we do everyday. So, I recommend to go with the family, and bring some food and make a picnic if it is posible.
